China will not inspect cargo in and out of North Korea
China has made clear that it does not intend to inspect cargo moving in and out of North Korea across their long common border to ensure it does not contain items prohibited by Resolution 1718..
The potential of growing cross-border trade with North Korea will make it hard for Hu Jintao to back effective sanctions. IMO: Basically looks like "greed and fear"
North Korean leader Kim Jong Il has told a Chinese envoy his country has no immediate plans to conduct another nuclear test but that US policy toward Pyongyang will determine the future.
IMO: N.Korea just another world nuisance. But they will trade anything and it looks as if both US and China appear singularly shortsighted with regard to nuclear proliferation. Decent enough report on options, here. But more constructive thought is essential or things will get worse. possibly very much worse.
